Batman's utility belt is a vital component of the crime fighters gear. It would seem to make sense that both of the Caped Crusaders would utilize such a useful addition to their costumes. What canon evidence is there(from any universe) to confirm or deny the existence of Batman's side kick, Robin, of having his own utility belt?

My favorite part in the above diagram is that Batman carried a mini wire recorder. That issue is from 1968 and magnetic tape recorders were available (just watch Mission Impossible) but I guess they figured a wire recorder could better be miniaturized. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_recording

TV Canon

In the 1960s TV series, you can clearly see that Robin is wearing a belt that is nearly identical to the Batman utility belt from the comic series, even down to the vertical capsules. We see him use a grappling line, smoke pellets and a homing transmitter (built into the buckle) on at least one occasion;

New TV Canon

In "Young Justice", Robin (AKA Nightwing) is described as having a belt containing a grappling gun, numerous Batarangs (regular and explosive), taser, gas pellets and a rebreather

In New Comic canon

"...a variety of projectiles with a vast array of different effects, a
retractable bo-staff and a cape made of high-density polymerized
titanium that is ten times as strong as steel. From razor-sharp
Bird-a-rangs and freeze-disks to complex circuitry capable of hacking
the most intricate of portable computer systems"

In Batman Chronicles Robin's belt is described as containing a "conceal[ed] radio set to talk to Batman"
